A comparative morphological characteristics of Chenopodium album L., C. missouriense Aellen and C. probstii Aellen
A comparative morphological characteristics of Chenopodium album L., C. missouriense Aellen and C. probstii Aellen
A comparative morphological characteristics of two North American invasive species – C. probstii and C. missouriense and the representative of genus Chenopodium in Bulgarian flora closest to them – C. album L. have been made. А total of 18 quantitative and 11 qualitative features are included in the morphological analysis. For more detailed study of generative organs the Scanning electron microscope (SEM) method has been used. Information about the chorology and ecological preferences of C. probstii and C. missouriense, possible ways of their penetration into Bulgarian flora, as well as the reasons for their later discovery have been given. Results showed that the differentiation of C. album, C. missouriense and C. probstii is possible in all phases of their development
